Agreed although I'm not sure we were going to 16 right away. Plus the initial plan was that the soon to be Big East 9 was staying intact. So if we absorbed Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State and Baylor we get to 13. Figure we add UCF, Memphis and one other in that scenario to go to 16. That'd be between ECU, Houston and SMU. I'll say we end up with ECU.
West: Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State, TCU, Baylor, Memphis, Louisville, Cincinnati
East: UConn, Rutgers, Syracuse, Pitt, WVU, UCF, USF, ECU
Not a bad looking conference at all and likely one that remains a "power conference" in the new CFP structure.
Basketball would have had some serious firepower with Kansas, Memphis, Louisville, Cincinnati, UConn, Syracuse, Pitt and Baylor.
